The stock electronic ignitions were/are non adjustable. The good part about that is its not possible to set the ignition timing incorrectly as it will only install one way. If you have an aftermarket ignition, rotating the breaker plate clockwise/retard or counterclockwise/advance adjusts the timing.

Hmm popping on the overrun suggests an air leak to me, have you checked the intake rubbers for cracks or splits ? are you running the stock airbox, is it sealed ? & are the carbs seated in the airbox rubbers correctly ?


PS i'm in the uk & would be willing to help if you are close to the midlands :-D

Setting your pilot mixtures using the colourtune method/flame colour will leave the off idle stage slightly lean. Just richening your air screws slightly should reduce the popping on decel and improve the transistion between the pilot and needle circuits. Plug colours will change to medium tan also.
